Thank you. Using your config.xml file did work (as did using a complete set of files that were expanded using WinRAR on a PC and then moved back to the Mac). So it would seem like something is happening to the config.xml file during the compression and/or extraction process if you try to use a Mac and The Unarchiver. I believe I have been able to do this successfully before, so something in the process has changed.

I always recommend using Winrar to extract the file as that's what it was built in. But the cuts appeared correctly in the previous user's screenshots and they were still weren't appearing, so I doubt it's that.

Btw,do you get the default black face or is it a blank space?


I can try Winrar in a few hours.
I get the default black silhouette.

All of the images seem to be fine, so my next guess is that something is happening to the config file during the extraction.
Is it possible to post that file by itself (uncompressed) or just the code and I can cut-and-paste it into a new xml file?

Thanks for your help.

Maybe it's a Mac thing, but I know plenty of people using Macs who are running the MP without any issue at all.

Everything both of you are describing appears to be in order. Either there's something minute which is stopping the pack from working or somehow you've not installed it correctly, but it doesn't look like it to me, I have to say


Yeah, unless I just got stupid and can't remember how to do something I have been doing for years (and correctly as recently as Wednesday), I don't get it. I have had no problems with the whatever packs were before 10.02. A new save did not help. I am downloading a different Facepack to see if it works. Still waiting for 10.02 to unarchive with a different app (I originally used The Unarchiver and I am on macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 in case anyone is curious).

Can both of you try to change the skin and see if there's any difference?


I had already tried the three default skins, without any change.
The faces that came with the game (and game-generate faces) are still present, as are all of the logos, kits (2D and 3D), trophies and backgrounds I have been using...

I am currently starting a new save and using a different tool to unarchive the rar.

Can you download and install the 10.02 update pack as that will bring you completely up-to-date?

Also, have you changed your preferences to look like this?

I am having the exact same problem on a Mac (I can test it on Windows later today).
I have never had a problem with adding graphics (going back to 2009), but when I downloaded 10.02, trashed the contents of the "faces" folder I had been successfully using, unarchived the rar, and made the correct selections in the interface preferences to reload the skin, I don't get any of the faces. the size of each folder and the number of files from 10.02 seems to be correct and there is an config.xml file present.
